Collection: [vibraphone]

Two years ago, the rebooted Vibraphone Records imprint reissued Minimal Vision's sought-after, self-titled 1992 debut. If anything, the Italian outfit's six-track 1993 follow-up - imaginatively titled 'Minimal Vision II' - is even more highly valued by deep house diggers and record collectors. This remastered reissue is, then, long overdue. It remains a fantastic mini-album, with highlights including the chunky, early progressive house-influenced hypnotism of 'Sea Bird', the acid-flecked futurism of 'Vertigo', the tribal-tinged early morning moodiness of 'C119' and the tough Roman techno of 'Repetition'. Best of all, though, is the deep house-goes-tribal headiness of bleep-sporting closing cut 'Ritual'. Simply essential.

TIP! Vibrapohobne Records presents Minimal Vison - Unreleased Chronicles (12") The legendary duo found forgotten tapes and now the music will finally get the well deserved pressing! Timeless and highly recommended gems from the time capsule! * These tracks were long-forgotten recordings, rediscovered purely by chance when one of us moved house. In the process, an old Atari ST 1040 computer was unearthed from a box, and as we sifted through its stored files, we stumbled upon this material—music recorded in our home studio years ago. We've decided to release it as a testament to the power of creativity and the ability to produce music even with modest equipment, proving that a professional studio isn't always a necessity. * Stefano Curti
